Country star Kenny Chesney will make Target Field a stop on his "No Shoes Nation" tour on July 12, the Twins announced on Thursday. It'll be one year after he and Tim McGraw headlined the first concert at the ballpark. More than 42,500 fans attended that show – and afterward the grass was mostly OK.
